A line makes angle θ with x-axis and z-axis and β with y-axis.
∴ l = cosθ, m = cosβ,n = cosθ
We know that, l2+ m2+ n2= 1
cos2θ + cos2β +cos2θ =1
2cos2θ = 1- cos2β
2cos2θ = sin2β
But sin2β = 3 sin2θ
therefore from equation (i) and (ii)
3sin2θ = 2cos2θ
3(1-cos2θ) = 2cos2θ
3-3cos2θ = 2cos2θ
3 = 5cos2θ
